The Story
The Vision Behind This Project
The Challenge
The 8th Street North project centered on a substantial home addition in Arlington, Virginia — a carefully engineered expansion measuring approximately 21'10" x 30' that introduced new living space, a master suite, and a reconfigured basement. The work encompassed full structural framing, footings, foundation walls, an interior concrete slab, and a complete roofing system, all tied seamlessly into the existing home. New windows and an exterior door were integrated throughout, with the addition's fenestration featuring white casement windows with custom grill patterns and satin nickel door hardware. Exterior finishes were elevated with KP Vinyl Maxim Board & Batten siding in Slate, complemented by Heritage Gray gable accents and crisp white trim — a palette that unified the new addition with the existing structure. A signature RJT bay window with casement units, a dedicated roof, and matching shingles anchors the rear elevation with architectural character.

Master Bathroom The master bathroom was designed around a Tahoe 60" Double Bathroom Vanity Set from Specialty Doors Online, anchoring the space with generous double-sink storage. The countertop arrived integrated with the vanity cabinet, streamlining the selection and delivering a cohesive look from the outset. A custom shower enclosure by Dulles Glass and Mirror defines the wet zone, paired with a layered Delta plumbing system that includes a DR10000UNWS shower valve, DT14067 shower valve trim, a DT11867 transfer valve trim with DR11000 rough-in, and an S6320 shower head — all sourced through Ferguson and Amazon. A handheld M3636EP shower wand connects via a DRP31554 shower arm and MA725 wall elbow, offering flexible functionality without visual clutter. The Duravit "ME" two-piece toilet (D0938200001/D2171010000) brings a refined European silhouette to the space, while a pair of LG49-DF0C sink faucets from Build.com complete the vanity. Accessories throughout — including a D77535 robe hook, D77550 toilet paper holder, D77546 towel ring, D77524 towel bar, and D77524 towel bar — were specified through Ferguson for a unified finish story. Tile was selected through Mosaic Tile, and the room is lit by a KK43996CH vanity fixture from Ferguson alongside Sigala 2-Light Armed Sconces, creating a layered, well-balanced lighting scheme.
Family Room The addition's family room called for flooring that would feel native to the home rather than added on. Derr Flooring Co. supplied 3¼" red oak hardwood, carefully matched and blended with the existing floors to create an uninterrupted visual flow between the new and original spaces. A small connecting stair — finished with trim materials from TW Perry — bridges the addition to the current house with crafted detail.
Kitchen The kitchen carries the same red oak hardwood blend from Derr Flooring Co., maintaining the warm, continuous wood tone that runs through the main level. The floor selection ties the kitchen visually to the family room addition, reinforcing the sense of a home that has grown organically rather than in pieces.
Main Level The main stair run received careful attention, with treads, railings, newel posts, and balusters all sourced through TW Perry. The railing profile and baluster spacing were selected to complement the home's interior character. A Waucoba 1-Light Swing Arm fixture was specified for the master bedroom, and LED step lighting — hardwired indoor/outdoor fixtures — was incorporated at the exterior to complete the lighting program across levels.
